The rich just got richer, as one of Saugus High's all-time greats, Ashley Heys, made headlines with two different announcements this weekend.
Heys, the 2014 Foothill League 3,200-meter champion and Foothill League cross country runner-up, made her first big announcement at the 14th annual Ben's Ten race, as she blazed through the five-mile course in an eye-popping 28 minutes, 43 seconds, showing teammates and competitors she's due for another memorable season around the oval.
That mark, which averages out to 5:44 pace, smashes Samantha Ortega's 2015 Santa Clarita Valley high school five-mile record on the roads (29:47) and would have been an all-time valley record if it wasn't for Shannon Murakami running 28:32 just ahead of Heys on Saturday.
